Falklands flagged “RRS Sir David Attenborough” in Chile irks the nerves of Argentine senators
Two Argentine opposition Senators have requested the Foreign affairs and Defense Ministries to report on the ”unrestricted movements of the UK RRS Sir David Attenborough, flying the 'illegal flag of the Falklands', and sailing between Port Stanley (Puerto Argentino) and Punta Arena (Chile), and the implicit and vital logistic support provided to the vessel by the government of Chile.” Read full article

What a bunch of tosser's. They cry over absolutely everything.

Hmmm, no mention of the fact that the Governor has allowed the Argentine research ship to carry out “research” around South Georgia. Maybe they forgot that. They are so special and precious. How is the Falklands flag “illegal”?
Feb 15th, 2023 - 08:23 am - Link - Report abuse +3Hmmm..., worth mentionioning the fact that your Governor is Engrish and we Argies allow, of course, any Engrish research ship to carry out “research” around anywhere in the South-Atlantic... Maybe you forgot that... You are so special and precious... Falklands flag has..., in Latin-America..., the same value as a Jolly Roger...

Feb 15th, 2023 - 09:58 am - Link - Report abuse +3The only flag I have ever seen turn white in just 74 days was Argentinas. Cant be made of much.
Shows the dirt pretty well too.
I guess the tight patrolling of Argentine waters is working well, not. Could not even stop a research ship passing through, or could it have been that they actually sailed through that corridor owned by Chile.
The very same corridor we use to go to Chile and back.
Such petty people that complain about freedom of movement.

- Next short step..., the blacklisting of the Malvinas Isles as a Tax Haven in the EU...
Capisce...?
Wænk, there are a lot of things we didn't mention. Mainly because this article is about a Falklands-flagged ship visiting Chile. If you want to whine and whinge about possible tax-havens, comment on that column, you sour, wizened old man.

Specially not now..., that the Malvinas Isles have been blacklisted for Money Laundering...
Capisce...?
Speaking of “tax havens” we see that the argie government has admitted that some 43 percent of the workers in the country are off-the-books, in the black, under the table, in tax avoidance.
Feb 16th, 2023 - 10:23 pm - Link - Report abuse +4But then, no one is really surprised.
Pot, kettle.....
Does that guy Taenk ever post any thing sensible, nothing but a gibbering chimp,
Feb 16th, 2023 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Juan Cervantes, Taenk is joined to the hip of the Kirchner regime. One who has been so indoctrinated is like a robot. Repeat,repeat,repeat.
Feb 17th, 2023 - 09:09 am - Link - Report abuse +3Does not know much of anything other than usurpation.
Everyone just like him uses that method because they are trying to avoid the truth.
The truth is of their violent past and it hurts them to be reminded of it. So easy way out is to create a myth and hope no one notices just what their past really was.
Once upon a time Argentina had the most envied beef cattle trade in South America. Today Brazil has that pole position.
It shows the steep decline in the Argentine economy and as a result many cant handle it , but to frightened to stand up and do something about it because they know that to do so they could dissapear. The myth is their only sanity that keeps their corrupt government from coming after them. Hence the term indoctrinated.
One day they will see the light and Argentina will again be stronger trading. But untill then the Falklands is the number one smoke screen to divert everyone away from a truly failed economy they live in.
